Answer:

The percent yield would be 73%

Explanation:

The balanced reaction for the obtention of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) is the following:

Salicylic acid + acetic anhydride → acetylsalicylic acid + acetic acid

C₇H₆O₃          +          C₄H₆O₃        →         C₉H₈O₄           +    C₂H₄O₂

According to the reaction, 1 mol of salicylic acid reacts with 1 mol of acetic anhydride to give 1 mol of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and 1 mol of acetic acid.

1 mol aspirin (C₉H₈O₄) = (9 x 12 g/mol) + (8 x 1 g/mol) + (4 x 16 g/mol)

                                     = 180 g

1 mol salicylic acid (C₇H₆O₃) = (7 x 12 g/mol) + (6 x 1 g/mol) + (3 x 16 g/mol)

                                              = 138 g

1 mol acetic anhydride (C₄H₆O₃) = (4 x 12 g/mol) + (6 x 1 g/mol) + (3 x 16 g/mol)

                                                      = 102 g

The stoichiometric ratio is = 138 g salicylic acid/102 g acetic anhydride= 1.35

We have:

2.0 g salicylic acid

acetic anhydride = 5.0 mL x 1.08 g/mL = 5.4 g

The reactants ratio is = 2.0 g salicylic acid/5.4 g acetic anhydride = 0.37

0.37 < 1.35 , therefore <em>salicylic acid is the limiting reactant</em>.

Now, we use the amount of salicylic acid to calculate the theoretical amount of aspirin. For this, we know that 1 mol of aspirin (180 g) is obtained from 1 mol of salycilic acid (138 g):

theoretical yield= 180 g aspirin/138 g salycilic acid x 2.0 g salycilic acid = 2.61 g aspirin

actual yield = 1.9 g

Finally, we calculate the yield:

percent yield = actual yield/theoretical yield x 100

        = 1.9 g/2.6 g x 100 = 72.8% ≅ 73%

When the temperature of a sample of neon gas increases, what else increases? Distance between the atoms Kinetic energy of the at
Allushta [10]

Answer: Kinetic Energy of the atoms also increases.

Explanation: We are given that the temperature of the gas increases.

Relation between kinetic energy and temperature follows:

K.E._({avg})=\frac{3RT}{2N_A}

where, K = Average Kinetic energy

R = Gas constant

T = Temperature

N_A = Avogadro's number

As seen from the relation above, the Kinetic energy of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature, hence as the temperature increases, kinetic energy of the atom also increases.

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

19.32

Explanation:

the density is given by the mass over volume

the mass In this case is 342.93 and the volume is 17.75

d=342.93g/17.75cm

=19.32g/cm

How many moles are in 9.50 x 1022 molecules of CO? Be sure to ALL work below and report your answer using the correct number of
eimsori [14]

Answer:

0.158 moles

Explanation:

We are given;

9.50 x 10^22 molecules of CO

We are required to determine the number of moles;

We need to know;

1 mole of a compound = 6.022 × 10^23 molecules

Therefore;

9.50 x 10^22 molecules of CO will be equivalent to;

= 9.50 x 10^22 molecules ÷ 6.022 × 10^23 molecules/mole

= 0.158 moles

Therefore, the number of moles are 0.158 moles
